Sleepy Email Brunch Tree

Sleepy Email Brunch Tree is the third episode in the first season of Life in Pieces which was premiered on October 5, 2015.

Summary
A tree grew too big and must be cut down, which the boys attempt by ax, but even the patriarchal chainsaw proves a hard call, with the women commenting meanly. Matt cunningly cues his lover Colleen, invited for her first family brunch, to handle the many sensitivities, and she scores even with Tim's kids who simply seeks cahoots to get to 'contraband'. Greg gets abuse instead of gratitude when having volunteered to stock up at night he's arrested by a cop by the book. Greg is indignant Heather 'accidentally' threw some of his favorite old stuff in the garbage, yet saves her bacon when all her draconian attempts to prevent the kids intervening with an email to prevent her being enlisted for another kids farm trip fail utterly.
